Specializes in Pediatrics

Abnormal menses: If your periods have stopped, please see your doctor or have a pregnancy test available at the drugstore or clinic. If however, your periods come late, or irregularly, you may wish to record the beginning of each cycle and monitor. Irregular periods are not usually problematical.
